Entries from the Mullins and Elliot yards could dominate this bumper. The former’s LE NOUVEAU (NAP) looked to be travelling best on debut at Galway but couldn’t quite match the finishing speed of the first two, who have both won since. Closely related to the top-class The New One, the son of Shirocco has a bright future. Having ridden Another Choice at Downpatrick, Jamie Codd switches to Gowran and Thurles runner-up Noble Birth and his mount should be winning soon. Navigator Jack is a half-brother to three winners and one of the more interesting newcomers.
